Default tail light swap

ive been looking at the 03-06 tail lights ever since i saw a 88-98 model running around with them, it looked good. anyways just wondering if the wiring plugs are any different because the casings look the same. im thinking about buying a set ans swapping them if theyll fit right in.

no...an 89 used those "plates" to hold bulbs....the newer ones use sockets...

could be done,but will take some ingenuity

The wiring would be the easy part... Just splice.... As far as getting the tail light to fit the bed...

The lenses match up to the body the same... Dunno about the harness... My roommate has a 2004... I'll try it when I get some free time...
